Description
Flogistics gave our capstone group the project of creating a repeatable process for manufacturing a centered hole in their 90 degree sweep elbowlet. This process was described to us as something that each manufacturer does differently and the company did not want that to continue. The purpose of our research was to create a process that cuts the time it takes to manufacture and create a repeatable process of finding the center of the bottom hole on the outside of the elbowlet. Our research was a case study and we were able to provide a time study in the report as well. Our goal was to deliver either a working jig, CAD drawings, or another process in which we thought the manufacturing process could be done. We expected to send Flogistics a 3D printed jig, and the process of how to create a jig so that they can use it in the future. With our fixture and the time study Flogistics can more accurately invest or justify buying a brand new machine, our research could help them save time, money, and labor.
